Fflint Central
Malpractice
Birdman
The venture of two Welsh men with a fondness for cemeteries and Ouija boards, Fflint Central is a part-time record label for a few artists with similar experimental and artistic visions. Malpractice, a compilation released by Birdman, showcases selections from each of the artists on the label. Selections range from the seemingly Celtic influenced “Flip” by Pendro, to the static noise and rhythmic beats in “Halzaphron” by Cavendish Sanguine, to the pulsating and experimental ambient fuzz of “Cirrhosis of the Cormorant” by Berkowitz, Lake & Dahmer. Avant-garde, eerie, and experimental–none of it mainstream or boring–this compilation was made to keep listeners on their toes. Viewed by the artists as “pure sound outside of music” and “free of all the constraints that keeps ‘popular music’ so boring and pointless”, Malpractice is sure to transport you to a new musical realm.

Sounds like a most excellent album! Almost like a sampler, but much better. With an array of band, and doubly sounds, there’s bound to be something you like. Some of these tunes sound familiar to me, and I only wish I had my hand on the CD right now! Great review!
